Taming the Inner Critic: Rewriting the Voice That’s Been Running Your Life

There’s a voice in your head that sounds suspiciously like a concerned parent, a disappointed teacher, or you on your worst day—three hours into doom-scrolling with exactly zero snacks. She says you’re behind, too much, not enough, and definitely not ready.

Today we stop handing her the mic.

In this episode, we unpack what the inner critic really is (hint: a nervous-system bodyguard stuck in the past), why she gets so loud, and how to turn her volume down without declaring war on yourself. You’ll learn two simple tools to externalize the critic and retrain your inner voice with compassion that actually shifts your behavior.

You’ll hear:

• Why the critic is not intuition—and how to tell the difference
• The “be → do → have” switch that destabilizes her script
• How naming your critic creates instant distance (mine’s “Chelsea”)
• A compassion script to use in the moment when spiral brain tries it
• What this voice is costing you: momentum, joy, and your shine—and how to take the keys back

Toolbox inside: “Name & Externalize” + “Inner Compassion Script.”
If this lands, share it with a friend who’s ready to stop letting a scared voice run a brave life.
